Century Hardware Georgian cabinet hardware
The Century Hardware Georgian line is the brand's 18th-century-English-traditional family, the collection drawing on Georgian-era decorative vocabulary translated into solid cabinet hardware. Georgian pulls feature classical bail-backs, restrained Robert Adam-style detailing on selected pieces, and the tailored formal reading that suits English-Georgian and American-Federal cabinetry. Century Hardware operates from Hartland, Wisconsin; hardware ships from stock with most orders moving within 1-2 business days.
What identifies the Georgian line
The 18th-century-formal vocabulary is the defining cue. Where Hartford carries quieter Federal restraint and Plymouth reaches for earlier Colonial reference, Georgian sits in the formal English-American-traditional corner. The bail-backs run cleanly curved at Georgian-era proportions, the knob faces carry subtle classical medallions, and the line uses warm antique brass and polished brass finishes that read most period-appropriate for 18th-century reference.
Where Georgian fits
The line works on restored Georgian-period English and American homes, on formal traditional kitchens reaching for 18th-century reference, on libraries and study built-ins in Federal-period architecture, on butler's pantries with painted millwork, and on dressing-room cabinetry in homes with formal-traditional decorative tradition. Painted inset cabinetry in deep heritage tones (navy, oxblood, forest, warm cream) gives the line its strongest backdrop. Stained-mahogany and stained-cherry millwork pair especially well with the warmer brass finishes. Verify cabinet stile widths before specifying the larger backplate-equipped pieces, since Georgian's formal proportions read crowded on narrow stiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What design era does the Century Hardware Georgian line reference?
The Georgian line draws on 18th-century English-traditional decorative vocabulary, including classical bail-backs, Robert Adam-style detailing on selected pieces, and warm antique brass and polished brass finishes. The collection is designed to read period-appropriate for Georgian-era and American-Federal cabinetry rather than earlier Colonial or later Victorian styles.
What cabinet materials and paint colors work best with Georgian hardware?
Painted inset cabinetry in deep heritage tones — navy, oxblood, forest, and warm cream — provides the strongest backdrop for the Georgian line. Stained-mahogany and stained-cherry millwork pair especially well with the warmer brass finishes in the collection.
How does the Century Hardware Georgian collection differ from the Hartford Collection?
Georgian occupies the formal English-American-traditional corner with classical bail-backs, subtle medallion details, and warm brass finishes that carry the full 18th-century decorative vocabulary. Hartford carries quieter Federal restraint with simpler profiles. Georgian is the strongest period match for Georgian or Federal-era architecture; Hartford suits those wanting a simpler, more restrained profile.
Are there any cabinet sizing considerations before specifying Georgian hardware?
Some pieces in the Georgian line include backplates, and the collection's formal proportions can appear crowded on narrow cabinet stiles. Stile widths should be verified before specifying the larger backplate-equipped pieces to ensure the hardware fits the cabinetry proportions correctly.
